Yes. Scientists have found that desert dust does indeed allow algae to grow.
Algae is found every where, even in the desert. If you take a handful of desert dirt and let it sit in some water in light, algae will start to grow. Thankfully it is very resilient, it produces most of the oceans oxygen and is the bottom link in the food chain for aquatic life. it is found in places which are damp and exposed to sunlight. it can also grow on walls. eg. under a tap
Yes, lichen can be found in desert environments. They are able to survive in harsh conditions by forming symbiotic relationships between fungi and algae. This allows them to find moisture and nutrients where they may be scarce.
Yes, there are few Protista organisms that grow in the desert.
Algae is a plant, therefore it needs light. The photic zone has light, so that is where algae will grow. actually algae are of diffrent types red, brown green and yellow. Green algae and brown algae(stipe and frond) are usually in photic zone however red algae and bluegreen algae also inhabit aphotic zone On account of presence of pigments r-phycocyanin and r-phycoerythrin red algae can also absorb diffused UV light so can also prepare food in aphotic zone
Algae needs water, light, and minerals like phosphate and nitrate to grow.
If there is moisture available algae can grow in the desert.

No, algae is not a problem in a desert. It only appears for a short time in pools that form after summer rains.

Algae can grow anywhere - where there's sufficient sunlight and moisture to sustain its growth.
algae needs moisture and oxygen to grow.
Algae grow on it

Of couse, animals can grow in the desert. They would not be able to survive and reproduce if they did not grow.
Yes, there are few Protista organisms that grow in the desert.
Irrigation is needed to grow crops in the desert.
